Abstract: A low-density filler material for cigarettes from either a low-density tobacco composition or an extruded grain or starch composition. The low-density tobacco composition and a method of making the low-density tobacco composition by extruding a mixture of tobacco and flour or tobacco and starch under conditions whereby the solvent in the extruded mixture flashes into vapor upon release from the extrusion head. The low-density tobacco composition is formed without the aid of an added binder. The low-density flour or starch material and a method of making it by extruding flour or starch with a filler material such as calcium carbonate under conditions whereby the solvent in the extruded mixture flashes into vapor upon extrusion through the orifice die. The extruded composition can then be cut and used in place of cut tobacco filler.

A cryptographic processor has a first input for receiving plaintext, a second input for receiving a key and an output for outputting ciphertext generated by cryptographically processing the plaintext and key. A first circuit element is responsive to the ciphertext and plaintext for outputting a first ciphertext derivative. A second circuit element is responsive to at least a portion of the first ciphertext derivative and the key for outputting a second ciphertext derivative. The first and second circuit elements can be XOR gates. Alternatively, these elements can be provided using lookup tables. Subsequent cryptographic processor stages can be provided having a first input for receiving second plaintext, a second input for receiving the second ciphertext derivative as a key, and an output for outputting second ciphertext generated by cryptographically processing the second plaintext and the second ciphertext derivative.

Abstract: The device has an optical measurement arrangement with a hologram scale (10) fixed wrt. the measured part to generate a diffracted beam from at least one measurement shaft, a sensor device (40) and a signal processor (50) which evaluates the phase of the diffracted beam to determine the absolute position of the part wrt. the measurement shaft. The hologram scale has at least one track with a grid structure for the absolute measurement range with a large period (d) compared to the required resolution. The grid structure is designed to ensure that sufficient light is diffracted in the first and at least one higher, or only in higher, diffraction orders for detection by the sensor device and phase measurement by the signal processor. The higher orders are determined by a ratio of grid period to higher order determining the desired resolution.

Abstract: In external modulation, a modulated light signal is shaped to decrease pulse transition times resulting in less chirp. Accordingly, the modulated signal travels greater distances with less pulse distortion over an optical medium. For an integrated-type of external modulator, chirp is reduced further by using a laser modulator coupled to multiple complementary output ports.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for speech recognition in which a single criterion or set of criteria is selected manually by the user, from plural classes of recognition criteria. The stored classes of recognition criteria include a default class optimized for an average user in normal conditions, at least one class having a probability of recognition greater than said default class, and at least one class having a probability of recognition less than said default class. Accordingly, the user may select that class of criteria which provides the best results for him or her, as measured by greater accuracy (fewer false positive detections) or fewer instances of non-rejection. 
     An utterance is compared to one or more models of speech to determine a similarity metric for each such comparison. The model of speech which most closely matches the utterance is determined based on the one or more similarity metrics. The similarity metric corresponding to the most closely matching model of speech is analyzed to determine whether the similarity metric satisfies the criteria of the user-selected class. The present application has application to many problems in speech recognition including isolated word recognition and command spotting. Illustrative embodiments of the invention in the context of telecommunications instruments are provided.

Abstract: A multi-value storing EEPROM having data-storing circuits (9), each storing a control data item which determines a write-control voltage to be applied to one bit line (BL) in order to write data into any memory cell (M) connected to the bit line (BL). The write-control voltage is applied to the bit line (BL) to write data into the memory cell (M), on the basis of the control data item stored in the data-storing circuit (9). To read the data from the cells (M), a bit-line signal is supplied to the bit line (BL) in accordance with the control data item stored in the data-storing circuit (9). To achieve write verification, the value of the bit-line signal on the bit line (BL) is detected from the data-storing state the memory cell assumes. The control data item stored in the circuit can be changed on the basis of the data-storing state of the memory cell (M).

Abstract: A time difference Δτ between the arrival of acoustic
signals from sound sources to microphones 1, 2 is detected from
output channel signals L, R from microphones 1, 2. By Fourier
transform, the signals L, R are divided into respective frequency
bands L(f1) - L(fn), R(f1) - R(fn). Differences Δτ i  ( i = 1,
2, ··· n ) in the time-of-arrival of L(f1) - L(fn) and R(f1) - R(fn)
to the microphones 1, 2 as well as a signal level difference ΔLi
are detected. L(f1) - L(fn), R(f1) - R(fn) are divided into
a low range of  fi < 1/(2Δτ) , a middle range of  1/(2Δτ)
< fi < 1/Δτ , and a high range of  fi > 1/Δτ . Utilizing
Δτ i  for the low range, ΔLi and Δτ i  for the middle range and
ΔLi for the high range, a determination is made from which sound
source L(fi), R(fi) are oncoming to deliver outputs separately
for each sound source. The outputs are subject to an inverse
Fourier transform for synthesis separately for each sound source.

Abstract: In a data transfer system in which when a first to fourth
terminals require reading data, the data are read out of a first
to fourth storages to be stored in a first and second buffer memories
while a first and second virtual groups of storages are alternately
switched every constant cycle, and thereafter a first and second
data sending units send the data stored in the first and second
buffer memories to the terminals; on the other hand, when the first
to fourth terminals require writing data, received data is divided
in a way to distribute the process loads of data read and data write
of the divided data equally into a first and second data transfer
units. At the same time, the data are stored in the first and second
buffer memories of the first and second data transfer units, and
thereafter the data are written into the first to fourth storages
while switching the first and second virtual groups of storages
alternately. As a result, the load of transferring data to the
terminals is not concentrated on a particular data transfer unit
in the data transfer system, even when the rate of request-to-reads
from the terminals changes or differs from those of others.

Abstract: The present invention relates to monoclonal antibody H11 and antigen binding fragments that specifically bind to the antigen recognized by H11, the C-antigen. The C-antigen is found specifically on neoplastic cells and not on normal cells. Also disclosed are polynucleotide and polypeptide derivatives based on H11, including single chain V region molecules and fusion proteins, and various pharmaceutical compositions. When administered to an individual, the H11 antibody is effective in diagnosing, localizing, and/or treating neoplasias. The invention further provides methods for treating a neoplastic disease, particularly melanoma, neuroblastoma, glioma, soft tissue sarcoma, and small cell lung carcinoma. Patients who are in remission as a result of traditional modes of cancer therapy may be treated with a composition of this invention in hopes of reducing the risk of recurrence. Patients may also be treated concurrently with the antibodies and traditional anti-neoplastic agents.
